What is Leveraged Finance Trading?

Just as the title says, what does it entail? I tried searching for it on the forums but all I could find were threads for the LevFin group within IBD. I am pretty sure that it is a micro oriented trading desk, but what kind of products do they trade? High-yield bonds, loans, that kind of stuff? I am specifically thinking of the LevFin trading desk of a large investment bank.

TIA
